Because Specialization Matters.

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

We are experts in the ASC revenue cycle industry, and we are regularly asked to write articles and speak nationally on cutting edge and pressing issues facing ambulatory surgery centers. See below for some of what our people had to say on such topics.

Changes In Out-Of-Pocket Expenses Have Meant Big Changes For Providers At The Point Of Service With nearly 500 global retail locations today, and more than $215 billion in annual revenue from its gadgets, streaming services, and other business lines, it’s hard to believe Apple just two decades ago faced an uncertain future.

“They are us and we are them. National's approach since being with us has been as a partner or better yet a family who cares about our success and does everything in its power to assist us in being successful."

We were actually losing money on some cases because costly implant charges were not being coded and billed correctly. National Medical was able to go back and capture significant lost revenue. Their specialized, ASC expert coders have maximized our revenue and compliance."

"National Medical’s expertise in the ASC market revealed that our contracts were reimbursing less than Medicare and in some cases only 38% of Medicare. Due to their expertise and experience, they were able to renegotiate better contracts and increase our contract reimbursement by 305%. We’re now able to bring additional cases to our center."

"Before we hired National Medical, we were handing billing in house and were averaging $811 for each surgery. In our very first year with National Medical, with the same number of cases, we have increased our cash per case to $1,400. That represents an increase of approximately $600 per case, or 73 percent, all of which is pure profit for us. In absolute terms, that means an additional $90,000 per month to us on the same number of cases."

"National Medical consistently exceeds our expectations by going above and beyond every day. Their team is proactive, highly attentive and smart. To top it off, their detailed analytics team provides us with powerful insights into our business, allowing us to make informed decisions. In short, they are the perfect partner for all of our revenue cycle needs."
